I have been following the trend of events on this forum since last month but with difficulties in posting to make my contributions, questions and comments known.
One does not have to be Seer to know that the hands of God are on this forum. I eventullay checked several pages looking for someone email or telephone number. Fortunately for me I saw Ma Ig phone number. It was a re-union because she had been of great support for me in the past but I somehow lost her contact. She had to put me through like taking a nursery school pupil through, in reading A, B C for me to be able to have access finally. A big thanks to Ma Ig and glory be to
It is my pleasure to inform these great forumites that I got my PPR yesterday (July 24, 2012).

It is not deliberate that I am posting this late. Infact, it is not in my own interest because I could have benefitted better if i had been able to do so.

I will be in Ghana live on Sunday to get the Ugwu leaves.

Thank you so much for your contributions and please pardon me if I have not followed a particular protocol.

They may be aware but may just be adopting a wait and see stance. I would have been shocked if the court had not ruled in the applicants' favour.
These guys will have to understand that they can't continually play Russian roulette with peoples' lives. :-X
 
I am completing the form - IMM0008 application as requsted by AVO. There is just one space for dependants. If the dependants are more than one, kindly confirm to me if Additional dependants form/declaration form is meant to for the remaining dependants.

I realise that Schedule 3 is also having 0008 code. Is schedule 3 form also necessary to be completed to get the Ugwu leave. Kindly let me know.

I called Seth Central View Hotel to get a room booked for Sunday, but he said all single and double rooms are fully booked. Kindly advise on other affordable hotels that are not too far from the AVO.

Thank you once again for everything.

God is good.

Hello peeps

got this from reports On plans and priorities for 2012/13.



Minister’s Message
I am pleased to present the 2012–2013 Report on Plans and Priorities for Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

In an uncertain global economy, the Government of Canada is committed to helping Canadian businesses and families achieve a sustainable and prosperous economic recovery. As part of that commitment, the government will make changes to Canada’s immigration program that will support our country’s economic recovery.

In the coming year, the government will make our economic immigration system more streamlined and efficient, and improve its selection of economic immigrants, while continuing to uphold Canada’s long tradition of humanitarian and family immigration. Specifically, CIC aims to make our immigration system more flexible, so that it can reflect changing labour-market realities and adapt to Canada’s evolving economic needs.

Altogether, we anticipate welcoming about 157,000 immigrants under our various economic programs, of which an estimated 65,000 would be primary economic immigrants and around 92,000 would be family members accompanying the primary immigrant. As a result, immigrants under economic programs represent almost 62 percent of all projected admissions for the year.

Within this overall economic immigration program, we expect to welcome 55,000 to 57,000 in the federal skilled worker category to Canada in 2012 (about 22,000 principal applicants and roughly 35,000 family members). Although performance of federal skilled workers has improved as a result of changes we have made in the last six years, including focusing on specific in-demand professions and applicants with pre-arranged job offers, the system needs further improvements. Building on hard data gathered by CIC, we will modernize our points system for federal skilled workers to place more emphasis on younger workers, on workers with stronger official language proficiency, and on Canadian labour market experience, among other criteria that our experience shows best predict success for newcomers to Canada.

We will also propose improvements to the Canadian Experience Class to make it more responsive to labour market needs, develop options for a new federal skilled trades stream to address acute regional labour market needs, and look at ways to develop focused immigration streams to address specific economic needs that are not adequately addressed by existing programs.


We also expect to welcome 42,000 to 45,000 economic immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The results of the first comprehensive study of the PNP show that, overall, it has been successful, and that immigrants in the PNP perform better economically than those in the Federal Skilled Worker Program in the first five years they are in Canada. However, the study also identified problems, particularly with provinces and territories using PNP allocations for immigrants who are not filling immediate labour market shortages. Accordingly, CIC will work with provinces and territories to eliminate non-labour-market-driven PNP streams. We will also be introducing minimum language requirements for PNP participants, to encourage better social integration and to ensure that they have the skills needed to adapt to changing work conditions.

Overall, we will continue to modernize and improve the efficiency of our operations. A key area of focus will continue to be the reduction of backlogs that lead to long wait times and make it more difficult to implement needed improvements.


One important example of this is our new Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification. By the end of 2013, this plan will reduce the backlog of parents and grandparents by 50 per cent and significantly speed up the process of reuniting family members in Canada. In the meantime, the new “super visa” enables parents and grandparents to more easily make extended visits of up to two years with their Canadian family members. Also as part of the Action Plan, this year Canada will admit the highest level of sponsored parents and grandparents to Canada in almost 20 years.

We will also prepare to collect biometric information from certain visa applicants as part of our Temporary Resident Program. Actual collection of biometric information will begin in 2013. The use of biometrics in this process helps improve the integrity of our immigration system, brings Canada in line with most other developed countries, and represents a historic development in security screening.

The Government will continue to embrace Canada’s international treaty obligations and Canada’s humanitarian traditions. Once implemented, additional refugee reforms tabled in February 2012 as part of the Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act will build on the reforms passed in the Balanced Refugee Reform Act and ensure that those refugee claimants who need our help will get it even faster, while those who abuse the system will be sent home more quickly. We will also toughen penalties against those individuals involved in international human smuggling.

Our Settlement Program helps new residents maximize their potential and integrate into the economic, social, and civic life of the country as smoothly as possible. We will undertake a review of this program with an eye toward strengthening our settlement processes. We will also continue to work with other levels of government, and with the community organizations that deliver front-line settlement services, in order to make the program more efficient, more uniform and better coordinated.

Protecting and strengthening the value of Canadian citizenship remains an important priority for the Government. We will continue our efforts to crack down on citizenship fraud, to look for ways to improve the integrity of the Citizenship Program, to streamline case processing, and to ensure that the Citizenship Act reflects the true worth of Canadian citizenship. We will strengthen language assessment of citizenship applicants to ensure that new citizens have the language skills necessary for successful integration into Canadian society. Building on the introduction of a new citizenship certificate, CIC will work with our partners to further extend electronic validation of citizenship status. Finally, a number of special citizenship ceremonies will take place throughout 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada.

Through our Multiculturalism Program, we will continue to work with our partners to promote integration and to address unjust racial and religious discrimination, including anti-Semitism. Through our Inter-Action program, we will help fund programs that promote inter-cultural understanding and harmony. Canada will also assume the Chair of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research in 2013.

As Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, I am confident that our plans over the coming months will help the economy continue to recover and grow, and will make for a stronger and more socially cohesive Canada.

I would like to thank all of the staff at CIC for their hard work and dedication to excellence in planning and implementing Canada’s citizenship, immigration and multiculturalism programs.

Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism
